The Transit Custom is one of three variants to wear the Transit name, and the only one not sold in the U.S.

In European terms, it's a mid-size van, slotting between the full-size Transit and the compact Transit Connect in size.

Ford previously unveiled another electrified commercial vehicle at the 2017 Detroit Auto Show—a Transit Connect Hybrid taxi, without a plug—although that model was deemed a prototype and Ford has not confirmed production plans.
